Looks like the moderator shut you down for that code sample… can you paste it in the http://wordpress.pastebin.com/ ?
Category archive view… which template file is that? category.php?
The CCTM theme files get_custom_field() and print_custom_field() are scoped to a specific post because you have to be in the context of a given post before you can talk about getting or printing its custom fields.
I haven’t seen your code yet, but this really sounds like a job for my other plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/summarize-posts/
That plugin was built for exactly this type of flexibility. You can do some very flexible searches and the results returned include the custom fields as part of the records returned, all with a single database query.
For example, in your theme file, you could do something like this:
<?php
$Q = new GetPostsQuery();
$Q->post_type = 'your_custom_content_type';
$Q->taxonomy = 'category';
$Q->taxonomy_term = 'My Favorites';
$results = $Q->get_posts();
foreach ($results as $r) {
print $r->post_title;
$image_id = $r->my_image_field;
print wp_get_attachment_image_src( $image_id, 'full', true);
}
?>
Note that the custom image field here would be returned in its raw form (i.e. as the integer key), so you have to use one of WP’s image functions, e.g. wp_get_attachment_image_src in order to get the image. This is because Summarize Posts doesn’t apply the output filters used by the CCTM… but I’m working to integrate the 2 in a future release.
See http://code.google.com/p/wordpress-summarize-posts/wiki/get_posts for some more examples and explanations.
